Cursor

Cursor's agent reads skills from ~/.agents/skills or ~/.cursor/skills (every project) and from .agents/skills or .cursor/skills in your project. The install below writes ~/.agents/skills/vidlab. Start Cursor from a terminal where VIDLAB_API_KEY is set, so the agent's commands can read it.

Set up

  1. Put your key in your environment (how) and open a new terminal.
  2. Install the skill for every project:
bash
npx skills add https://vidlab.ai -g -a cursor -y

Leave out -g to install it for the current project only (it is saved in .agents/skills/vidlab).

  1. Start Cursor from that terminal (cursor .), open the agent and check it with a free question:
Use the VidLab skill: list three video models and the price of a 5 second clip at 720p.

Tips

  • Cursor started from the Dock or the Start menu does not see a variable set in your shell profile. Start it from a terminal, or set the variable for your whole user account (on Windows the PowerShell line on Install the VidLab skill does that).
  • Update the skill by running the install command again.
